Page 146 - ... distinctly felt to slip over the volar surface of the phalanx, and when the movements of swallowing have ceased , the epiglottis is found to be between the finger and the posterior pharyngeal wall, instead of between the finger and the base of the tongue. If the tip of the finger be placed against the epiglottis not far from its base, the epiglottis can be felt to fold down with the greatest ease over the larynx during deglutition. It is extremely easy in this manner to convince oneself of the...
Page 141 - Man, has the distal portion of epiglottis long and stiff, quite another picture is presented during this stage of the act of swallowing. It is only the base of the epiglottis which is engaged between the base of the tongue and the larynx; the distal portion does not fold down as a lid , but is applied to the most posterior part of the back of the tongue, so that the hollow laryngeal surface of the epiglottis continues backwards the surface over which the bolus glides from the tongue.
Page 295 - ... is an algebraic sum of the plus and minus effects producible separately by stimulating singly the two antagonistic nerves. [Reference was made above, p. 568, to observations on antagonism which took the vasomotor centre as test-object. On this subject a very clear statement is given by Bayliss.* " The results of exciting simultaneously the depressor nerve and a pressor nerve, such as the central end of the anterior crural, depend entirely on the relative strengths of the stimuli : whichever nerve...

Page 141 - ... the Dog, therefore, the distal portion of the epiglottis has the appearance of closing the laryngeal orifice in the lid-like way usually described as general in its application; but how little this is essential is at once evident when we remember the little or no inconvenience following its complete removal. In animals such as the Goat, which, like Man, has the distal portion of epiglottis long and stiff, quite another picture is presented during this stage of the act of swallowing. It is only...
